Alhaji Mustapha Jokolo, ex-Aide
de Camp (ADC) to President Muhammadu Buhari as Head of State, has disclosed
that former National Security Adviser (NSA), Sambo Dasuki facilitated the 1983
coup that brought Buhari to power.
The deposed Emir of Gwandu made
this declaration in an interview with the Sun.
He was reacting to a new book
authored by General Muhammadu Ilyasu Bashar (retd.) who replaced him as the
current Emir of Gwandu.
Jokolo took exception to some of
the details contained in General Bashar’s book and gave his account of the
funding of the coup that made Buhari Head of State.
“Honestly speaking, my heart
bleeds because of what is happening to Sambo Dasuki now, I worry a lot”, he
said.
“It is an irony. If I had not
brought him (Dasuki) in this thing (1983 coup plot), it could not have happened
with Buhari being Head of State. It was Sambo Dasuki who facilitated it not me.
I only suggested it.
“He was the one who convinced
these people. I swear to God Almighty. He was the one. He did a lot, honestly
speaking.
“So I connected them with Sambo
Dasuki and wallahi Sambo. Even when we were planning the coup that saw Buhari
as Head of State, Sambo Dasuki was the one who was getting money for us from
Aliyu Gusau and Chief of Army Staff votes to help the coup plot because not a
single Kobo did we get from Buhari.
“Not only that, he used his
father’s money to sponsor some Mallams to go to Saudi Arabia to help pray for
the success of the coup.”
